From Red Blossom Tea Company

A descendent of oolong varieties taken from Jian’ou in China’s Fujian Province, Tung Ting was brought to the eponymous central Taiwan mountain in the mid-1800s. Its name means “frozen summit”, in reference to what was, at the time, one of the highest elevation tea gardens in Taiwan. Today, tea is grown at far higher elevations in Taiwan, but Tung Ting retains its reputation as one of the first Taiwanese teas.

Our Tung Ting was gathered at a little over 700 meters above sea level, in an area outside Lugu, Nantou County. We source exclusively spring harvested leaves for their fragrance and mouth feel. The tea is then lightly oxidized to accentuate its fresh orchid and gardenia notes.

Such a great Oolong tea. Sweet, deep, complex, with a crisp and clean finish.

And it’s good for multiple steepings. I’ve gone as high as four, but it could go for a couple more even, just adding 30 seconds to the steep time for each additional pour.
